As consumers, we make innumerable decisions when buying
something. The most obvious ones are related to the quality, the
size of the product, and the price. However, good shopping
decisions should go further than that. The idea of responsible
shopping has been growing in popularity ever since we became
more aware that every purchase we make has an impact.
1
________________ If you feel you are not an expert on this
issue, read these easy-to-follow guidelines for ethical shopping.
First and foremost, we should ask ourselves the question: do
I really need it? We have become accustomed to living
a consumerist lifestyle, which has made us believe that buying
more can make our lives better. Fortunately, we are now slowly
beginning to realise how little we actually need.
2
_________________ In the meantime, it’s the ideal moment to
think whether or not we could use something we already have in
place of something we thought we needed.
Another piece of advice is to buy locally produced goods. By
doing so, we both help the local community and reduce our
carbon footprint because the products do not have to travel a long
way. When it comes to food, it also gives us a chance to buy
fresher, healthier products.
There are some guidelines when shopping for clothes, too. First
of all, responsible shoppers always read the labels that provide
information about the materials used and the country of origin.
3 the windows to cut out the sunlight.
__________________ If the shop is selling things at very low
prices, they’re unlikely to have been made with much regard for
ethical and environmental standards.
Finally, an issue that we should consider is giving a second life to
something old. 4 __________________ Buying second-hand
goods has other benefits as well. At car boot sales and flea
markets, we can often find items that we are unlikely to find
anywhere else.
Although many of us still believe that individuals can’t do much
to change the world for the better, it is clear that even small
everyday actions like doing the shopping responsibly can make a
change, and it is time these became our general habits.

A Secondly, the places where we buy things are also an
indication of whether the products were manufactured
responsibly.
B On the other hand, the price does not always reflect high
manufacturing standards. This is why finding out more
information about the company’s policy in this respect seems to
make sense.
C So, our attitude towards purchases is slowly changing: instead
of buying a lot of inexpensive products, we are gradually moving
towards saving our money in order to buy a single better-quality
product later.
D Each time we spend money, we influence the lives of
individual workers, the environment and society at large. In the
light of the above, it is important to make informed choices about
what we buy and who we buy from.
E ‘Shopping vintage’ can be a fantastic option if you want to
save the environment and … some money at the same time.
